BILL S-211
An Act to enact the Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act and toamend the Customs Tariff
Modern Slavery Statement for the Financial Year ended 2023
This statement is made pursuant to Bill S-211, An Act to enact the Fighting Against Forced Labour
and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act and to amend the Customs Tariff. This statement outlines theapproach and initiatives by FIO Automotive Canada Corporation (“FIO”) to identify and address therisks forced labour and child labour in its business operations and supply chains during the financial
year commencing April 1, 2023, and ending March 31, 2024.
Commitment to respecting human rights
FIO respects the laws and regulations of every country and region around the world in the pursuitof its business activities as part of a framework for implementing the UN Guiding Principles on
Business and Human Rights and in accordance with international norms such as the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights.
Group Structure and Activities
FIO was established in 2002 and began production in 2003. Located in Stratford, Ontario, FIO is asubsidiary company for Futaba Industrial, which is located in Aichi Japan.
FIO operates under the principles of lean manufacturing to supply steel body components to 5 Toyota
plants in North America. Our supply base contains approximately 275 suppliers that fall into one oftwo categories: suppliers of raw materials for production or suppliers of MRO items.
Supply Chain
FIO’s suppliers of raw materials are mostly based in North America and consist of steel processorsand steel stamping facilities. Most of these suppliers are awarded business by our customer on ourbehalf based on the evaluation of these suppliers by Toyota. We also source a small portion of raw
material from our parent company in Japan (Futaba Industrial) via a third-party shipping company
who consolidates ocean freight with other Japanese owned Toyota suppliers.
The MRO suppliers FIO uses are awarded business through internal evaluations at our facility. They
include manufacturers of personal protective equipment, maintenance items for the facility andadministrative supplies to name a few. They are also mainly located in North America with somespecialty equipment manufactures being in Japan and Europe.

Risks in Supply Chain
In the event that any of our business partners or other relevant parties engages in or promotes an
act that has a negative impact on human rights, the partner or the like will be required to respect
and not infringe upon those human rights.
To support our lean manufacturing principles our supply chain operates in a just in time environment.
Material arrival is planned based on the day and sometimes the hour at which it is needed. This meansthat any external factors that impact the planned material arrival time can jeopardize the success ofour plant. We mitigate these risks by identifying gaps in the pipeline of material as early as possible.
The majority of these gaps can be corrected through root cause analysis and counter measure
implementation.
Actions Taken
We respect human rights and each individual employee, the following is taken from our “SupplierSustainability Guidelines” which is posted on our parent company website:(https://www.futabasangyo.com/en/profile/customer/)Child labour: Do not accept labour by children who have not reached the legal minimum age for
employment prescribed in local laws and regulations etc.
Migrant labour, forced labour:a. Assure that all work to be a voluntary basis and employees can leave work or terminate theiremployment of their own volition. Do not tolerate forced labour by means of violence and threator by entrapment of debt, or any other form of modern slavery and human trafficking.
b. Do not require employees to surrender passports, government issued identifications, or work
permits as a condition of employment. Do not exploit employees with high recruitment fees andother costs deemed unreasonable as a condition of employment.
Risk Assessment
Per the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, we disclose whether
the products we manufacture or contract to manufacture contain “conflict minerals”. This requires
us to map our supply chain and survey it to ensure compliance. This is an annual activity with oursupply chain partners.
Remediation
In the event that one of its own business activities directly causes a negative impact on humanrights, or an indirect impact by one of its suppliers or other relevant parties is identified, FIO will
work to correct and remedy that impact by the appropriate means.
Training
FIO will carry out the appropriate education and training so that this policy can be incorporated
into all its business activities and implemented effectively. Furthermore, FIO will make every effort
to prevent and remedy any adverse impact on human rights by thoroughly disseminating thispolicy.

Effectiveness Assessment
We have ensured all suppliers are aware of modern slavery by incorporating prohibition of child orforced labour into our terms and conditions which are referenced on every purchase order and isavailable for review in section 14 at https://futabanaem.net/.
This statement is made pursuant to Bill S-211, An Act to enact the Fighting Against Forced Labour
and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act for the financial year ending 03/31/2024. It has been issued
on behalf of FIO Automotive Canada Corporation and approved by FIO Automotive Canada
